    While i think most drafts are ridiculous brain fucks that include people drooling over a recruits potential vs his actual production, I do understand that it's part of the job.

    In today's fords "buzz" I'll copy a few nuggets without completely plagiarizing someone's paid content.

    First Kevin Pelton says the Lakers should take Dragan Bender at No. 2. Now this?

    Chriss was at No. 8 on our Big Board for quite a while, and moved up to No. 6 in our latest Big Board. We are currently projecting him to go No. 4 to the Suns in our latest mock draft.

    But No. 2? Over Brandon Ingram? Is the hype going overboard?

    The rest goes on to compare his ceiling to the likes of kemp(the elder) and shawn merion, neither of which makes any sense. They also say he has the highest ceiling in the draft other than simmons. Another interesting nugget.

    Secondly they move on to murray and say "If Dejounte Murray played at North Carolina or Duke, he'd be a top-five pick."

    So now Murray is in the realm of being a top 5 pick if he was an east coast guy(or maybe had he been shown in the ncaa tourney).

    This section is a bit more comical as ford says he thinks murrays real landing spot resides between 8-17.

    Murray will be a steal if he falls out of the top 10

    I think Chriss has a chance to turn into a good player, but he's too much of a Al Farouq Aminu, Tyrus Thomas, Peter Warrick type imo. He has the size, he can really jump, and he can shoot a little bit, but he also broke the record for most fouls by a Pac 12 player though. He doesn't really know what he's doing.

    NBA scouts sometimes get too lovestruck on that and hyped on potential because of a guy's athleticism. They ignore the fact that Chriss has no clue about the nuances of the game because he's only played four years. These types every year, and Chriss could be one of those guys, especially when you consider he will go to a shitty team unless he lands in Boston with the #3 pick. The gap between Simmons, Ingram and Chriss is huge.

    Murray has the natural hoops IQ to be good, but he needs to get a little bigger and develop a shot. I love his game though. Both have a lot of work to do (like 99% of rookies in the NBA).

    Aminu shot 17.9% from 3 as a frosh, Thomas only attempted one 3 as a frosh and Warrick (assuming you mean Hakim, not the FSU wr/pr) attempted 2 as a frosh (and only 9 his first three seasons in college).

    If you can't see Chriss is light years ahead of those three as a shooter you aren't trying.

    The foul thing is a real issue, and he might flame out. But those are really bad player comps for him. He brings a serious dimension those guys did not have, and it just so happens to be the most in demand dimension in the NBA right now.

    I can't decide to hate you because you're right, or hate you for your blatant racism.

    Romar has a family and a really nice daughter that I would want to date my son.

    I think it's obvious Romar has been victimized by Poolboy(and Jen's) obsession with the football program, stadium build, and a massive growing budget deficit. We're lucky he gets the recruits he does and should be thankful we have a coach who BLEEDS PURPLE and will NEVER leave

    There would be far less of a deficit if more than 2k people attended basketball games.

    Not to mention, it doesn't help anyones attendance or bottom line that the reason for all the shitty basketball and football game times had to do with being on TV that nobody has been able to actually get.

    Just well done all around
